The *biggest* problem with the current ride.. and the reason why Figment comes across as obnoxious in this version compared to the original one, is the very ill-conceived,short-sighted story. (This is another very important piece of criticism I’d provide to Guest Relations/Upper Mananagement when contacting them). The biggest problem with the story currently is that it’s written only in the mindset of fans that are familiar with both the original and the poorly received version in-between. So they understand the whole in-joke story. That Figment is getting revenge on stale, condescending, obnoxious Dr. Channing for his wrong way of thinking, that imagination isn’t captured by a bunch of Institute expirements, but rather something that’s set free through creativity. The only problem with this is, any newcoming guest that isn’t familiar with the previous versions is completely lost, as you barely get an introduction to either one of the characters, the joke flies over their heads, and let’s also not forget to mention, the whole title/name *and* concept of the ride is compeletely wrong. It’s not a “Journey Into Imagination with Figment” at all. It’s a backstage tour of the Institute from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.. which is testing your *senses*, the way your mind *perceives* and *processes* things. *Not* the original message on how the creative process worked (Dreamfinder on his dreamcatging machine being a metaphor on how our mind is inspired by a variety of thoughts or others’ ideas (sparks).. and then we recombine those “sparks” to create new things. He demonstrated that process by creating his very own “figment of imagination” or creation, Figment the purple dragon. Dreamfinder was both the guide to us riders *and* to Figment on understanding what Imagination (creativity) is all about. So Dreamfinder then took us through all the creative fields/realms our minds could fully flourish in and find that key to unlock the hidden pleasures, Wonders, and discoveries in our lives. That was the entire message of the original ride. The current ride gets that *completely* wrong. Couple that with the extremely poor budget the current version got with barely any effort, scenery, animatronics, etc. compared to how full of detail, scenery, effects, and animatronics the original had. *That* is the problem. That’s why everyone needs to be *very* thorough on what problems you have with the current version and *why* the original version was so much better in your opinion. That’s the only way they'll Get it. Simply asking to “bring Dreamfinder back”, isn’t going to fully solve the problem. It’s a lot more than just the Dreamfinder character being missing. The entire attraction is the problem. The exact lesson we learned with simply “Bringing Figment Back”. It put a temporary band-aid on the issue, but didn’t fix it entirely.
